Sobha Realty Unveils Sobha Aquamont, the First Waterfront Residences at Downtown UAQ

Sobha Realty today launched Sobha Aquamont, a landmark collection of sea-view apartments that will spearhead Phase One of Downtown UAQ—the emirate’s 25 million sq ft master-planned “coastal city within a city.”

Set along Umm Al Quwain’s 11-kilometre shoreline, Sobha Aquamont rises as three sculptural towers atop a 120-metre elevated podium. The development offers 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom residences—each with uninterrupted Arabian-Sea panoramas and private balconies—alongside an extensive suite of resort-style amenities. Residents will enjoy an infinity lagoon pool with submerged loungers, a Zen garden and yoga deck, an outdoor cinema, family play zones and direct access to the community’s seven-kilometre public beach park.

“Sobha Aquamont defines the lifestyle benchmark for everything that will follow in Downtown UAQ,” a Sobha Realty spokesperson said at the launch ceremony, held at the project’s new waterfront sales gallery. “Early buyers secure front-row access to the emirate’s longest continuous beach, plus first-phase pricing in what is destined to become the Northern Emirates’ most sought-after coastal address.”

The unveiling follows last week’s official ground-breaking of Downtown UAQ by H.H. Sheikh Rashid bin Saud Al Mualla, Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain. The broader masterplan—delivered in partnership with the UAQ Government—combines residential districts, a 15 million sq ft Trade-Centre Free Zone, and a future cluster of five-star resorts at South Beach. Once complete, the city is expected to accommodate more than 150,000 residents, positioning UAQ as a new hub for tourism, business and sustainable living.

Flexible Payment & Launch Incentives

Sobha Aquamont debuts with a 60/40 payment plan:

  • 10 % on booking
  • 50 % staggered during construction
  • 40 % on hand-over (targeted for Q4 2028)

Early purchasers will also receive a two-year service-charge waiver and complimentary access to the community’s beachfront club. Prices start from AED 1.35 million for a one-bedroom apartment, making the launch one of the most competitively priced prime-waterfront offerings in the UAE.

Sustainability & Smart-City Integration

Echoing the masterplan’s Net-Zero 2050 alignment, Aquamont incorporates low-E glazing, a district-cooling network and smart-home automation as standard. Residents will have access to EV-charging bays and a community bike-share programme that links all three Downtown UAQ districts via shaded cycle paths.

Strategic Connectivity

Located just off the E11 coastal highway and minutes from the E311, Downtown UAQ offers a 40-minute drive to Dubai International Airport and swift links to Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. Future mobility layers include a planned water-taxi pier connecting UAQ to Dubai Creek Harbour and a vertiport earmarked for inter-emirate air-taxi services.

Next Steps for Downtown UAQ

Phase Two, scheduled to launch in 2027, will introduce South Beach’s first five-star resort and a 250-berth deep-water marina. Phase Three will complete the Trade-Centre Free Zone and cultural district by 2032.
